Outro is played without the patterns repeating once. So the outro becomes like this:

[Verse 1]
G
It's hard to define you

                              C#maj7
What's concealed inside you is multitudes

                               C
I can't begin to explain or to rationalize

                            G
Did I dream you? No, I am a-wake
You fill each moment, each empty space
G                                         C#maj7
As you float down the vast corridors of my childhood
And still yet you want to explore
       C
And to meet all my demons, smile as you greet them

    G                                           G
And ask them politely, please don't visit here anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
               C#maj7
Some days they even listen to you

     C                          G
It's enough love to pull me through
[Chorus]
            G                          C#maj7
And all the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring

            C                               G
Babe, when I'm with you, I can do anything

            G                          C#maj7
And all the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring

            C                               G
Babe, when I'm with you, I forgive everything
[Verse 2]
G
I don't want to define you, constrict or to tie you

  C#maj7
In the knots that I find myself constantly strangled by

C                                      G
No need to justify who it is that you are

                                   G
Or who it is that you're trying to be
Maybe you're just the last mystery left
    C#maj7
In a world that is hellbent on explaining itself to death

C
Maybe our love has no form and no shape

         G
And the more I explain it

                        G
The more I feel it slipping away
[Pre-Chorus]
                C#maj7
Some days all I think about is you

     C                          G
It's enough love to pull me through
[Chorus]
            G                          C#maj7
And all the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring

            C                               G
Babe, when I'm with you, I can do anything

            G                          C#maj7
And all the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring

            C                               G
Babe, when I'm with you, I forgive everything
[Outro]
G          C#maj7              C               G
   Curtains  flailing in the breeze of the night

G           C#maj7          C       G
   And I can feel you here by my side

G          C#maj7          C             G
   Once I was afraid, now I no longer care

G           C#maj7            C             G
   A love without a shape, I find you everywhere

   G       C#maj7     C   G
In those white     magnolias   (4x)
